Ideal Church-goer

Gene's guide dog, Linmar, has come to church nearly every Sunday for over five years. He lies peacefully for an hour but does not drift off to sleep like many of the two-legged worshippers. He never barks or stirs, even when pummeled by toddlers.

He responds instantly to commands from a supine position, again much faster than the average Episcopalian.

If Linmar could sign/initial/paw-print a pledge card, he would be on the Vestry in no time...
